<DIV><B>One of the world&rsquo;s most celebrated novels, soon to be a major motion picture starring Mia Wasikowska</B><BR /><BR />This indelible portrait of a beautiful woman&rsquo;s aching lust for more&mdash;more romance, more glamour, more fun&mdash;and her resulting tragic demise, is widely considered one of the finest novels ever written. Flaubert&rsquo;s refusal to condemn his adulterous heroine, a woman trapped as much by circumstance as by her own boundless desires, scandalized nineteenth-century France and resulted in a trial on charges of obscenity. But it is the beauty of the novel&rsquo;s prose, the great care it takes with characters major and minor, and the relentless but elegant thrust of its narrative, that puts <I>Madame Bovary </I>in a class by itself.<BR /><BR />In the story of a provincial doctor and his wife&rsquo;s tawdry affairs, Gustave Flaubert found the stuff of great literature. A perfect novel about imperfect people, <I>Madame Bovary </I>is the rare classic that exceeds expectations and feels as fresh now as it did the day it was written.<BR /><BR />This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.&#160;</DIV>
